French Immersion

What your child is learning

Your child will express and justify their feelings, preferences and opinions in French. As well, they’ll discuss the dynamics and impacts of characters within many different oral and written texts. By enriching their vocabulary and sentence structures, they’ll engage in a wide variety of meaningful oral and written communications. Your child will also become increasingly aware of the importance of precise expressions and vocabulary to effectively communicate in French. For more about Grade 7 French Language Arts, refer to the program of studies.

How your child is assessed

Your child’s learning is assessed using a variety of tools and strategies within the classroom. Ask your child’s teacher what methods they are using. The different assessment methods tell you and your child’s teacher about your child’s strengths, the areas in which they might grow and how well your child is doing throughout the course. Your child’s teacher can then change or refine their teaching plans to ensure that learning activities better meet the needs of your child. At the end of the course, your child is assessed and their achievement is reported so that you know if they have achieved the expected learning outcomes for their grade.

Resources to help your child

A variety of digital and print resources, developed by publishers, Alberta Education or Alberta teachers, are available to help students learn. Teachers may select, and bring into the classroom, numerous innovative and creative resources to create rich learning experiences for your child.
